Effect of the dispersibility of ZrO2 nanoparticles in Ni-ZrO2 electroplated nanocomposite coatings on the mechanical properties of nanocomposite coatings

ZrO₂ nanoparticles was uniformly co-deposited into a nickel matrix by electroplating of nickel from a Watts bath containing particles in suspension which were monodispersed with dispersant under DC electrodeposition condition. It was found that morphology, orientation and hardness of the nanocomposite coatings with monodispersed ZrO₂ nanoparticles had lots of difference from the nanocomposite coatings with agglomerated ZrO₂ nanoparticles and pure nickel coatings. Especially, the result of hardness showed that only a very low volume percent (less than 1 wt.%) of monodispered ZrO₂ nanoparticles in Ni-ZrO₂ nanocomposite coatings would result in higher hardness of the coatings. The hardness of Ni-ZrO₂ nanocomposite coatings with monodispersed and agglomerated ZrO₂ nanoparticles were 529 and 393 HV, respectively. The hardness value of the former composite coatings was over 1.3 times higher than that of the later. All these composite coatings were two-three times higher than that of pure nickel plating (207 HV) prepared under the same condition. The strengthening mechanisms of the Ni-ZrO₂ nanocomposite coatings based on a combination of grain refinement strengthening from nickel matrix grain refining and dispersion strengthening from dispersion state of ZrO₂ nanoparticles in the coatings.     

A complete global solution to the pressure gradient equation

We study the domain of existence of a solution to a Riemann problem for the pressure gradient equation in two space dimensions. The Riemann problem is the expansion of a quadrant of gas of constant state into the other three vacuum quadrants. The global existence of a smooth solution was established in Dai and Zhang [Z. Dai, T. Zhang, Existence of a global smooth solution for a degenerate Goursat problem of gas dynamics, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 155 (2000) 277-298] up to the free boundary of vacuum. We prove that the vacuum boundary is the coordinate axes.     

The Level-split of the Two-level Entangled Atom in an Optical Field

The behavior of a two-level entangled atom in an optical field with circular polarization is studied in this paper. The interaction of an optical field and one of the entangled atoms is analyzed in detail. A general solution of the SchrAo¨Gdinger equation about the motion of the entangled atom is obtained. The properties of the action are dependent on the initial state of the atom. By detecting the entangled atom out of the field, we can obtain the state of the other atom moving in the field. It is shown that the state of the atom out of the field will influence the energies of the split-levels of the atom in the field.

Formation of Interfacial Layers in LaAlO3/Silicon during Film Deposition

We have studied the interracial reactions between amorphous LaAlO3 thin films and Si substrates, using high- resolution transmission electron microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It has been shown that the interracial layer between LaAlO3 film and Si substrate chemical states show that the ratio of La 4d3/2 to Al 2p is SiLaxAlyOz. The depth distributions of La, Si and Al of the interfacial layer remains unchanged with the depth compared to that of the LaAlO3 film. Moreover, the Si content, in the interracial layer gradually decreases with increasing thickness of the interracial layer. These results strongly suggest that the Al element is not deficient in the interracial layer, as previously believed, and the formation of a SiLaxAlyOz interracial layer is mainly due to the diffusion of Si from the substrate during the LaAlO3 film deposition. With the understanding of the interracial layer formation, ones can control the interface characteristics to ensure the desired performances of devices using high-k oxides as gate dielectrics.

On Polynomial Functions over Finite Commutative Rings

Let R be an arbitrary finite commutative local ring. In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a function over R to be a polynomial function. Before this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for a function to be a polynomial function over some special finite commutative local rings were obtained.
